Empowering Change Makers
About The Fellowship
We started in 2008 with just 11 Fellows, and the whole idea of the Gandhi Fellowship is about the mantra that building yourself can change society and systems. Our 23 Months full-time immersive fellowship program helps you connect with the real world, understand problems from the ground up, and come up with innovative solutions. Today we have extended our family with an alumni base of 2000+ fellows who are transforming India into media houses, Development Sector Professionals, Government Consultants, corporate employees, and Social Entrepreneurs where they continue to excel and contribute. Here, the youth gets to work alongside organisations doing incredible work or even kick-start their very own initiatives. The possibilities are endless.
During the fellowship journey, the Gandhi fellows get this unique opportunity of Experiential Learning with the cohort of young individuals from across the country to develop better understanding about SELF and NATION. Every Gandhi Fellow is encouraged to observe the world around them at close proximity, plan interventions and create impact through innovation. The work done during the fellowship goes a long way in moulding one into a nation builder.

Fellowship Curriculum
Fellows embrace the pulse of the community through immersive engagement. With a fresh perspective, they discover transformative opportunities within challenges, and ignite innovative solutions as a catalyst for change.
Fellows Experience transformative growth at Gandhi Fellowship’s immersive Boot Camp, inspired by the Indian Army’s rigorous training, where fellows engage in cross-training, develop a growth mindset, and unlock their full potential.
Fellows are entrusted with a designated block in a district, actively driving positive change in the attitudes and actions of government officials, stakeholders, and community members.
Vipassana – Through a 10-day Vipassana journey, fellows unveil the profound interplay between mind and body, and experience profound self-transformation and heightened self-awareness.
Engaging in daily debriefing sessions, fellows reflect on their experiences, sharing insights and learning from one another, thus paving the way for transformative individual growth and catalysing systemic change on a larger scale.
